Here's a sneak peak at our new Six Mile, South Carolina project's 17th hole. Playing 570 yards from the tips, this par five's tee shot rises over two swales and a natural waterfall to a ridge.

In 2017, we were honored to restore the original Donald Ross green complexes and sand bunkers at the Country Club of Asheville. Work that continues to showcase lasting quality and craftsmanship.

One of my favorite holes that I have routed is the high-point to high-point to high-point par-five eleventh at Braemar Golf Course in Edina, Minnesota. Peter Wong is a true photographic artist and I thank him for taking such a great shot of a hole that is difficult to photograph.

With the onset of shelling out bunkers at Hollywood Beach Golf Club, the first pallets of sod are not far behind! @qgsdevelopment Development continues outstanding work and I know McCumber Golf and City of Hollywood,FL are excited as well!

Shout out to my MuniciPALS! I enjoyed doing podcast #149 with you all and look forward to subsequent podcasts. open.spotify.com/show/2He7pL6RI…

It was great to return to Lake Forest Country Club earlier this week to see the progress of our Tom Bendelow fairway bunker restoration. The course is in fantastic shape thanks to CGCS Tom Bolon. Looking forward to the next phase.

Yesterday's visit checklist at Hollywood Beach Golf Club: - Shape features & finalize short game area (done). - Finalize #7 green complex shaping (done). - Review 7, 13, 14, 15 green surfaces (done). - Shell-out #5 greenside bunker. @qgsdevelopment still doing great work.

I appreciated the opportunity to engage with longtime acquaintance Bradley S. Klein 🇺🇦 on his Turfnet Renovation report podcast last week. Please take a listen and thanks to Capillary Flow and Golf Preservations for sponsoring Brad's efforts here. turfnet.com/podcasts/renov…

Grass continues to grow-in at an exceptional rate at Hollywood Beach Golf Club. Putting surfaces have all been finalized and await sprigging and all the bunkers have been finished as well as QGS Development wraps up the work and McCumber Golf continues the grow-in process.

Reflecting back on one of my favorite projects, Skydoor Golf Club. Every hole was designed and named after a specific landmark surrounding Zhangjiajie, Hunan, China. You can follow the link here to see our hole by hole narrative: online.fliphtml5.com/pwzzy/ygwp/#p=1

Grassing continues at Hollywood Beach GC. Starting to paint fairway lines. The little touches of how the lines move and frame the ripples in the fairways and mounding conceals how flat this property was (7' of elevation change). Hats off to Josh McCumber on the grow-in progress!

Off to a great start with our bunker project at the Donald Ross-designed Oconomowoc Golf Club in Wisconsin! Impressed with the whole crew of Hollembeak Construction on day 1. Looking forward to my next visit in a few days with the members and superintendent Steve Houlihan. Steve Houlihan

A milestone for First Tee Sandhills as tree clearing has commenced on its Community Hub project in Cameron. We're enjoying our contribution as architects of this great facility to include a driving range, short-game area, and nine-hole short course. First Tee – Sandhills

The transformation from an eighties golf course back to a 1916 Donald Ross original continues at Oconomowoc Golf Club outside Milwaukee. Wrapping up back nine work with Hollembeak Golf, who continues to impress.

A hearty thank you to everyone who attended the Mid-Atlantic GCOA Annual Meeting. I enjoyed presenting The Principle of Trends. I want to thank Mike Hatch and the Staff of Brandermill Country Club as well as David Norman, Tray Eastham, and Tyler Eastham for their work as well.

The back nine bunker work at the Donald Ross-designed Oconomowoc Golf Club was buttoned up this week. Thanks to the membership's support and excitement (one even used the word "stunning"). Hollenbeak is ahead of schedule by completing the bunkers on the fourth hole.
